CU OB-GYN Access and Engagement Scholarship

The University of Colorado Department of OB-GYN is committed to celebrating a broad range of thoughts and experiences. Our mission is to foster a welcoming program that actively employs strategies to recruit highly qualified residents to the University of Colorado.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is excited to offer scholarships to visiting fourth year medical students applying to OB-GYN. The scholarship is intended to help cover travel, housing, and/or personal expenses during the student’s 4-week long rotation.

• Each recipient will be paired with a faculty and resident mentor
